My bedroom is fitted with color-change LED bulbs, and they simulate a sunrise, from very dim amber to bright white, over a period of 30 minutes.
For night sleeping, I have blackout drapes and the sequence plays in reverse, from bright white to very dim red, with a touch of amber. That way I have sunrise and sunset on my schedule, not whatever random thing the planet decides to do. Stupid planet, with changing daylight hours.
I deliberately have a lot of voices, from very deep and growly bass to second soprano. I also have a wide repertoire of what was always called "weird sounds" that I make. I stopped for years, growing up, then decided it doesn't hurt anyone, I enjoy it, and anyone who doesn't like it can get the hell out of my house.

That could explain my reaction to habanero salsa. There was a restaurant here, years ago, that made an award-winning salsa, and I loved it. It was too hot for everyone else.

I bought a bunch of refills when I found that a 0.7mm Cross ball point is exactly the right line and feel when I use a pen. I also bought 4 pen bodies that fit them, 1 for my checkbook, 1 for my backpack, 1 for my home office, and 1 for my work office. I'm never without the right pen.
I cannot emphasise this enough. #ActuallyAutistic folks MUST start their day with natural light, NOT the light from your phone or light fixtures. Itβs such a super boost and help to your regulation. Try it out this week!

I've been seeing a French Bulldog quite often on my morning walk. They are such feisty little characters! So this image is my tribute to that breed. (This is artwork in my continuing series of images with a stained glass effect...not real stained glass!)

Little Man is pushy, he'd never put up with that.
He's also just about deaf, so he wouldn't hear it.
@ScottSoCal @gupton68 When my dog would have a particularly barky/scratchy night, the next day I'd yell any time I caught him sleeping.
Dogs do the same thing. Little Man sleeps all day, so he can scratch at the door to be let out, all night.
I only watched one of those, so voting was easy.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
